Albert Kamehameha


Prince Albert Kamehameha, formally Albert Edward Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa a Kamehameha , was the only son of Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, who during his short life was the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Hawai i. He was the godson of Queen Victoria.

He was born May 20, 1858, in the residence of Ihikapukalani that his father had built for his mother. The residence, oddly, had two names the makai side was known as Kauluhinano, and the mauka side was known as Ihikapukalani. Created Crown prince and heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai i on May 24, 1858, he was styled His Royal Highness the Prince of Hawaii by the Privy Council. Adored by the native Hawaiian public, he was affectionately known as Ka Haku O Hawai i and was believed to be last hope of the Kamehameha Dynasty. His birth was celebrated for many days not only in Honolulu, but throughout the islands. He was the first child to be born to a reigning Hawaiian monarch since Prince Keawe Awe ulaoKalani in 1839, son of Kamehameha III, and the last ever to be born from any reigning Hawaiian monarch.
